TV Mid-Season '010: The Complete Review – What is coming back

Now that the Olympics are over, everyone is proud (or ashamed?) to bring back new episodes for their own shows.
And like last year, it is now time to get this Complete Mid-Season Review started (albeit a bit late).
As always, we kick things off with what is coming back (from March and on).

Back with medals.


– Trauma – Season 1.5 (premieres March 8): Let’s be honest, its first half wasn’t that good.
– Friday Night Lights – Season 4 (premieres April 30): A bit late for NBC to show it. This new season however is great.


– FlashForward – Season 1.5 (premieres March 18): The first half was an overwhelming disappointment. I’m not even sure it will live to see another season.
– V – Season 1.5 (premieres March 30): On the other hand, this show was pretty decent. But please, I want more Alan Tudyk.


– Glee – Season 1.5 (premieres April 13): Possibly the best new show this season. Rock on.

Yet again, I shan’t comment since I neither watch nor care about The CW shows.

– Gossip Girl – Season 3.5 (premieres March 8)
– 90210 – Season 2.5 (premieres March 9)
– Melrose Place – Season 1.5 (premieres March 9)


– Southland – Season 2 (premieres March 2): Saved by the bell, it returns from the dead. Will it find an audience on TNT and show NBC that this was the drama to be counted on?
– Saving Grace – Season 4 (premieres March 29): The final nine episodes.


– Nurse Jackie – Season 2 (premieres March 22): Haven’t gotten around to seeing the show.
– United States of Tara – Season 2 (premieres March 22): The high-point was definitely the presence of Patton Oswald.
– The Tudors – Season 4 (premieres April 11): It’s the final countdown.


– Stargate Universe – Season 1.5 (premieres April 2): Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the first half of he season. Let’s see if it can hold up.
– Eureka – Season 4 (premieres July 9): Last season was actually entertaining, so I’ll still be tuning in.
– Warehouse 13 – Season 2 (premieres July 13): For the same reason as Nurse Jackie, I can’t really comment on it.


– Breaking Bad – Season 3 (premieres March 21): If Glee is the best new show, then Breaking Bad is simply the best show on television.

Next up are the brand new shows coming our way.

Welcome (back)

Welcome (back)

Ladies and gents, welcome to this whole new design.

Look around you. Isn’t the view grand?
There’s so much to (re)discover.

If you’re new here you might be interested in reading our little About page.
As for the aficionados, you can see that a lot has changed.
For starters, everything is much more organised.
I have been busy throughout the months preparing for this big step-up.

In the past few weeks, I have also edited every single one of the past 406 published posts to add them into our brand new categories (the main ones are on your right), as well as fit them with shiny new thumbnails.
You can check them all in the (now-clearly-structured) Archives.

The most special treatment though was reserved to all the Featured Posts, who, for the most part, got tailor-made banners.
And this trend will continue from here on out.
You can also access our five latest featured posts through the above gallery.

Now, things might still be a little unsteady here and there, so if you notice any problem or error, don’t hesitate to contact me.

In the meantime, enjoy yourself.
Post a comment, roam around, feel free to do whatever you want (almost).

There are a lot more surprises that I haven’t even mentioned yet, and even more is coming soon enough.
To be continued.

To the future!

Well hello there.

Looks like I’m back.
Okay, that’s a half-lie (or is it half-truth).

Since late-November, a lot of stuff has happened.
Avatar came out and broke box-office records.
Golden Globes were delivered, and Oscar noms went out.
The final season of Lost has begun as well as the 2010 Olympics.
Pilot season is upon us, and there was this whole Conan/Leno story.
Wow, what a (few) month(s)!

Oh, and I have a Green card.

Now if you’re wondering what the hell happened to me in the past three or so months, the short answer is that I’ve been away.
For the longer version, stay tuned. I do have a lot to talk about.

The one thing to note is that I have been busy working on the new version of the blog (remember?).
I admit, I took a Christmas break, but it’s almost over now.

You’ll have to wait a bit before discovering the new website as I still need to transfer (right now) the 400+ posts and basically re-tag every one of them (among other things).
Hang tight, we’re almost there.

During that time, I will still be on Twitter (where I admit I haven’t been that much present).

Okay.
That wasn’t a bad first post.

I’ll see you on the flip side (or on the bird).

And happy Valentine’s Day.
And New Year while we’re at it.
